Role Overview :

At Astra Security, we just launched the coveted API Security Platform and are now venturing into Autonomous Pentesting using AI - an experience that helps teams discover, test and secure Web & Mobile applications, Cloud and APIs at scale. As a Technical Program Manager, you’ll orchestrate multi-team initiatives including Platform engineering, Vulnerability Scanners (for DAST, Cloud, API & Mobile) and new scanners - driving them from 0→1 to GA.

You’ll pair strong business analytics with hands-on fluency in either TypeScript (preferable) / Go (Golang) / Python to shape scope, trade-offs and execution alongside SDEs and other Leads. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role working directly with the CTO, Engineering Manager and Product team.

By deeply learning the entire platform you’ll establish yourself as a go-to leader within the first few months. Eventually, you’ll champion new feature development across the platform and lead performance enhancements to keep our products fast and resilient. You’ll own triage and customer issue resolution, ensuring challenges are surfaced and solved before they escalate.

Here's what's in it for you

Technical Expertise :

• Be the go-to expert in one or more core technologies (TypeScript or PHP - Laravel / Symfony) and take initiative to learn new ones.
• Design and implement medium-to-large features that push the platform forward while reducing technical debt and improving maintainability.
• Lead architectural discussions and ensure smooth integration across platform services, scanners and microservices.
• Be hands-on with writing code , contributing a good amount of time with development tasks as required.
• Be like Yoda - the wise and learned mentor who guides others through challenges. If the engineering team is stuck, you should be able to step in and show them how it's done. Lead by example!
